If your navigation software doesn't permit weighting different turns, it's not really worth using for a business/organization of any substantial size. Usually there's also cost assignment/weighting for things like traffic time, stoplights-vs-all-way-stops, effective speed limits, time-vs-distance balancing, and all the zonal assignments that come up when breaking up a bunch of stops into different vehicles' routes for the day.

- snrplfth 10y agoOkay, I assumed the implication was software "typical" for commercial/delivery/collection vehicle routing. Even a business with a dozen vehicles would generally have this sort of software. Google Maps does not, the last time I checked, preferentially weight left turns beyond expected stoplight delay time. However, Waze does, apparently. (But this is just a comparative observation, the algorithms are not public.)
